Cynderellie’s Closet

I’d like to start off saying many girlfriends recommended this place and found THE dress at this shop. Unfortunately, it’s no longer open. Business is shut down and did not relocate. They do not advertise this anywhere on website and I drove all the up to Edmonds two days ago to find this out. Please read this before going there. I am sad to have missed out on the wonderful things I heard about shop.

It bums me out to write this review, because this store was so lovely a few years ago when my sister got her dress there. Obviously some things changed.
I had a hard time getting a response from them in the first place, but after multiple attempts, I finally got an appointment. I showed up the day of the appointment to the address listed on the website and on Unilocal; turns out they’re not there. I contacted the phone number and didn’t hear back until a few hours later.
I had already decided to go somewhere else when I found the doors shuttered, and to be perfectly fair, I was mistaken and was an hour early to my appointment already. But the owner didn’t get back to me until an hour after my appointment was supposed to have started. Good thing I didn’t wait around.
I do believe there’s still a location – in Kenmore? – so if that’s in your area, I wouldn’t tell you not to check it out necessarily. But if you bought your maid of honor a plane ticket for a specific date, I’d recommend a more reliable place.

I went when the woman was selling the business because her son got signed to a boy band in London, so she was moving overseas with him (which is AWESOME). I ended up buying a dress here at a steep discount, which was incredible because I have been eyeing one designer for a wedding dress for years now.
She was really knowledgable and I am sad to see her go, because I would have love to recommend people come here and get their wedding dresses. I believe she was trying to sell it to someone before she left, so I would call and try it out if you are looking for a wedding dress. There are so many different types, and be open to trying on something that you never thought you would like! I did, and I fell in love with an entirely different style than I had ever thought I would like!

I went to Cynderellie’s Closet for my wedding gown after two other soon to be relatives went there for their wedding dresses. My first time in was trying on just about every dress that I thought I would like… I was about to leave thinking they just didn’t have it due to the limited selection when they convinced me to buy a satin gown. I originally didn’t want satin but it fit all characteristics I had been looking for.
Being very budget conscious, they even gave me a $ 100 in store credit when I splurged and went with custom measurements on a Casablanca gown. Its important to note, they do not required appointments but KEEP AN EYE ON THE STORE HOURS!!! The day I went in, they had closed an hour early for a special and did not post it on their website. I ended up being rushed to pick out my gown.
Fast forward 6 months… I receive a call my dress was in and ready for pick up. I called back to confirm if I needed an appointment since I wanted to try it on. They said no appointments are necessary. I explained that due to my schedule I could only come in Thursdays because I live an hour and a half south of Edmonds. She assured me it would be fine BUT that they were closing at 5pm that day… again NOT POSTED. And yet again, I was rushed. I arrived at 4:45pm, even calling ahead when I was 10 min away to make sure they didn’t close on me. The woman who was closing that day had apparently already locked the door and was extremely irritated that was keeping her from her granddaughters birthday party… her coworker had not told her I was coming I guess. Needless to say, even though I had gone with custom measurements, the dress did not fit at all.
The irritated woman did not even help me put the dress on. I had to ask my mom to help me. She measured me again and said that it matched the measurements we had on the contract. It was suppose to be 55 inches long… and the tape clearly read 57 ½ inches WITH MY SHOES on! She said, just wear 3 in heels… I hate heels. I had on 1 ¾ shoes at the time and will not be going higher. She then noticed that the dress was sitting lower than it was supposed to because the bust was too loose. I can assure you, I am the exact same size as 6 month ago. She told me I could have it shipped back to China since I wasn’t pleased but that it could take 2 – 3 months to return. My wedding is in 3 months. That wasn’t an option.
Bottom line, I now get to pay several hundred dollars at an alteration place (because of course they don’t do alterations) even though I paid for custom alterations. At this point, I don’t even want to drive an hour and a half to find out if they remembered my in store credit or not. Not that I can use it on anything… beyond frustrated bride.

I was very excited to go to this shop ! So I emailed the store about setting up an appointment. Usually shops email back very quickly. They took 2 days to reply which is fine and gave me a few options for appointments. I picked the time and never received any email back! So I re emailed them again and still no reply! I was taking my mom so she could help me look and now we can’t go. Personally If I was a business I would email back customers!!! Not PROFESSIONAL

I am not one of those girls that had had their dream wedding dress picked out since I was 5. I had little idea what I wanted going in to dress shopping. I don’t really like shopping for clothing, I’m not an easy to fit size (not too big, but curvy, and I knew I wasn’t going to fit into sample sizes anywhere,) and most of my close friends and family aren’t local, so I didn’t have some huge contingent of people to help and encourage me through dress shopping. Basically, I was dreading it, and looking to make it as straightforward as possible.
Cynderellie’s had good reviews and was within walking distance of my office, so it seemed as good a place as any to start looking. I went up during lunch one day and talked with one of the women there and she seemed really nice in a very down to earth way that appealed to practical me. I made an appointment to go back up and try on dresses after work the next week, but before I left, I looked through the huge selection of dresses to see what I was in for. The woman I was working with showed me a few and one in particular that didn’t strike me at the time as being exactly what I wanted, but in the next week, it was the one I seemed to have most on mind.
Long story short, after trying on a few dozen dresses (more of which fit better than I would have thought,) that dress that she suggested the first day, the one I kept coming back to, is the one I bought. I didn’t even really end up looking elsewhere. They don’t play games, you know the maker and design name/​number on every dress, and the prices are on the tag. They steered me toward one company that was particularly easy to work with on customizations, but I never felt forced into anything, and in the end, a lot of that company’s designs appealed to me. (I was happy to have a direction to look in!) Everything was handled very professionally, and they made something I was dreading into something that really worked for me.

I helped my best friend find her perfect gown and this experience was better than 5 stars with the ladies at Cyderellies closet. From the second we walked in the door she was made to feel so special and important. The owner helped us and totally helped my friend stay within her budget and gave her SO many options. This is truly a special bridal shop.

After leaving a rather disappointing bridal show, we attempted to get an appointment to try on dresses elsewhere. Of course since it was last minute, nobody had availability. After calling Cynderellies Closet they said we were welcome to come over bc (lucky for us) they had a cancellation. Did I mention it was my first time trying on dresses? I had such an amazing experience. The shop owner listened to my opinion and budget, then helped me pull dresses. I continued to try on dresses after I had quickly fallen I love with my first. I realized I had already found my dress. The overall experience was very enjoyable. They have a wide variety of beautiful dresses, with a range of prices and customizations. Like any boutique they had dresses over $ 1500, but they also had a lot of dresses under $ 1000. The dress I found was all under $ 500 all together. They made it fun, and I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for a dress for their special day. Thank you!

I didn’t actually purchase a dress, but went along with my sister who had run into full blown dress emergency. They were beyond willing to help her and get her into something that she loved. In the end, she was able to get a sample dress that was absolutely perfect! I highly recommend.

Not for me!
They had literally no dresses in the style that I was looking for (sheath, probably with lace, and a vintage feel). Almost all the dresses in this shop are big ball gowns, so if you’re looking for that, you may just hit the jackpot there. Also, it might have just been the general price point, but everything looked pretty cheesy to me, very typical cheaper ball gowns.
The owner (I think) was nice but seemed super tired/​exhausted and distracted. She also wasn’t really listening to me, but basically said she didn’t have anything for me after looking around. Just a very narrow selection in general.
Wish I would have liked this place as the location is pretty convenient, but unfortunately not!
I highly recommend Pearls and Lace. They have a much larger selection, with dresses in all styles and I found my perfect dress there! They also have amazing service, help when needed but not overbearing like many shops.

I really can’t stress to you how amazing this place is. Denise (the owner) personally helped my future mother and law and I to find the dress. As soon as I told her what I wanted she immediately pulled out «the one» on first try! I didn’t feel any pressure at all from her and she was really easy to talk to. Even though we all knew it was the one I didn’t feel any pressure to buy it right then and there. Some bridal shops I’ve noticed if they see you hesitate they’ll mention how it might go out of season soon or how the prices might go up as the it gets closer to wedding season. There was also a deal going on where if you bought your dress you got extra credit off on any accessory in the store. I ended up getting my veil there too for only 60 bucks!
I was getting discouraged going through bridal shops (this was my 7^th one) and magazines along with seeing things that were out of my price range. My wedding outfit budget was 2k I thought it would of been a problem. Total I got my wedding dress for a little over 1100. Not to shabby at all considering in the past I only liked dresses that were 3k or higher! All of the dresses that were there are beautiful and under 2k; they looked expensive so I was happily surprised how much they were!
This place has a great selection of dresses and amazing customer service! Also when my future mother and law were on our way we didn’t know that The Taste of Edmonds was going on. Denise called us ourselves to tell us where to park so we wouldn’t be circling around the area. I’ve never had someone that thoughtful before in any bridal places I’ve gone to.
I could honestly ramble on forever about this place and the amazing customer servicing on Denise’s part. I can’t wait to pick up my dress and show off in June 2014, I’ll be sure to post a picture of it. Thank you again Cynderellie’s Closet!

I was in this shop at the end of April to try on dresses, and I was really excited because they had the best selection of the dresses I actually wanted to try on, but I got the most atrocious customer service. I didn’t know that five months was «pushing it» on time to find a dress (it’s a small wedding that didn’t need a year and a half of planning), but because of my time frame, she literally wouldn’t even let me try on dresses from ¾ of the store.
I put on a beautiful dress that I actually would have considered buying, and just as i was about to start having a «moment,» she reappeared to find out what kind of shoes I would be wearing, and when I told her I would definitely be in something lower than the shoes she had me in for fitting, she told me that she didn’t think she could get the shorter version in time, so I should probably take the dress off. Way to ruin the mood!
To be honest, after that, my mom, my sister, and I didn’t come back out of the dressing room, we just stayed in there with a pile of dresses that my sister had collected for me so we could get ideas and a couple of pictures. Even if I had found «the dress» in that store, I wouldn’t have bought it from them after that. I would have driven down to Seattle to get it from someone else.

This bridal shop has to be one of the my favorites. I have been involved in over a dozen weddings within the last year, yes — I’m serious. In all the experiences with the many different Bridal Boutiques, I had one of the best here and I would highly recommend it to any bride to be.
They have a huge selection of dresses, all organized by designer and style. This is definitely the largest selection of gowns I’ve ever seen. The space is also very big and spacious and decorated so sweet with everything wedding. The room in the back to try on dresses has a huge full length mirror and two pedestals. I’ve only been there once with another bride trying on dresses as my friend was, and even so, it was still comfortable and didn’t ruin our experience. The ladies here are also very helpful and excited for you. If you’re needing accessories AND maybe a glimpse at Bridesmaid dresses, they have it all.
Don’t forget to say hello to the adorable puppy Mikey who hangs out the whole time :)

I’ve had two wonderful experiences at Cynderellie’s and highly recommend making an appointment. The ladies are very supportive and fun with their store offering a great selection of dresses under $ 2k.
I’ve worked with Denise both times and she’s simply wonderful. I’ll be buying my dress here next month and look forward to continuing the relationship.

Wow! I came to help a friend shop for gowns, and I was very impressed by this cute little boutique. The selection was gorgeous, the prices were unbelievably good, and the service was outstanding. They even let us schedule earlier than regular store hours to accomodate our large group of 8 to watch the bride try on dresses, and let us bring food and drinks while we watched our mini fashion show.
Great selection of bridesmaids’ dresses as well.

While helping a friend shop for bridal gowns, we discovered this place. It was a trek out to Edmonds from the city, but well worth it! Even though it is a smaller shop, there is a great selection of well-​priced dresses — emphasis on the well-​priced, as there were so many other bridal shops we went to in the city with 2K and above price tags, showing only one gown under a thousand dollars if we were lucky.
The best part, though, was the incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. There was no pressure whatsoever to buy or to try on things you didn’t want to (although they offered helpful suggestions). You really got personal attention and best of all, you could take photos. No shady wedding business practices at this place — photos allowed, real style numbers and information about gowns on the tags, etc.
My friend ended up finding her dress here and loving it. I am excited to recommend this place to everyone I know who is in the market for a bridal gown.

i found my perfect weddding dress at Cynderllie’s Closet!
The wedding gowns in the shop are breath-​takingly beautiful and lovely.
And by far, pricing was the best i have seen in town~
Wendy was my consultant and she was an absolute ball of fun to work with!
Not only was she honest with how certain gowns looked on me, but she was extremely helpful and gave great ideas and tips!
There was absolutely no pressure about buying the dress,
she was patient, and kept asking if there was anything else i wanted to try on.
I tried on my third gown and knew it was the one. I didn’t even have to try on the rest!
I brought my mom, cousin, aunt and sister back with me and we all fell in love with the dress AND the exceptional level of customer service Wendy provided!
It was a very far drive out for me, but it was definitely worth it.
I highly recommend all bride-​to be’s to take a moment to call and schedule an appointment and just go up there and take a look.
You will not be disappointed!
I don’t get married until next year March,
but i already made my purchase thanks to Wendy and Denise!
You ladies are amazing!
Thank you~

I like this place so much that I purchased my wedding gown from here even though I didn’t try that design here. That is how great this place is.
The consultants aren’t pushy and are quite helpful. They understand a bride’s budget constraints and make suggestions to help you save money. Everyone is super friendly. The prices for the dresses are pretty much MSRP. But they give you kickbacks for purchasing, especially when there is a trunk show.
Every bride should check this place out at least once, even I’d the designer that they are looking for aren’t here

Cynderellie’s Closet was my favorite place to shop for dresses. For me, it was a 5 star experience. I felt like it was important to them to make me happy.
The atmosphere is charming and clean. The staff is knowledgeable, truthful, and helpful. They are amazing at troubleshooting dress issues.
They have a wide selection of dresses to try on. While I was there, I tried on about 15 dresses in an hour. In comparison to other shops, that’s amazing.
I am very excited to buy my wedding dress there. I found a dress that highlights all of my assets, and minimizes my flaws. I am going back for my 3^rd trip next Friday to choose the perfect veil.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have quite as great of an experience here as I did at most other places. After having some of the most superior service at some other boutiques in Seattle, I felt kind of rushed and almost mass produced here.
The quality of the gowns isn’t as good as some other places I’ve seen. There were some beautiful dresses, but the ones that I tried on were already falling apart. (I know that tons of people try the sample dresses on… but still… they should have some models that are in top condition).
I found a few dresses that I really liked, but didn’t find «the one.» I was trying on dresses at the same time as someone else. The girl was very lovely, but it’s kind of nice to try it on yourself so you have more privacy as I had done at some other places.
